What to do with a dish network dish?a

My family had Dish, but we didn't like it, so we switched to something else. Dish never wanted their antenna back though... So what do I do with it? My dad wants to throw it away, but my creative teenage brain tells me I can do something with it somehow. I have a limited budget, and a grandfather who will help. What can I do with the Dish dish? What would be the best, easiest to use or most workable or easiest to use? How would I do it and what would I need?

Is there any creative way to use a Dish antenna as the basis for an HF antenna? Developments with CC&Rs must allow satellite tv antennas by federal law, so I am wondering if anyone has tried using the framework of the Dish antenna as the basis for, say, a spiral-wound long wire stealth antenna.
